    Portrait of Jack 2019

    I’m a self-taught freelance user interface designer and animator. For the last 12 years I’ve been based in London, but now I spend most of my time traveling the world on motorbikes and working remotely on the road.

    Anything with a screen is my realm, and more recently i’ve been loving the mobile space. Over the past several years I have specialised further into UI Motion design, bringing screens to life and turning static journeys into rich customer experiences. Aside from making things look good, I like to make things work – with occasional hand-written code. Doing all of this has made me very flexible within a creative team, with equal ability in both the technical and creative side of design. I strive to create appropriate designs, animations and prototypes that not only work, but are a pleasure to use. Being a perfectionist forces me to make everything line up and click into place, and under no circumstances can there exist a wonky pixel.

    Playing video games is the reason I found an interest in the web, making my first websites for ‘clans’ in competitive gaming until I was offered a junior job in an agency at the age of 18 based on my hobby projects. I feel very privileged to have grown alongside the tech industry and see it change the world.

    Making this site stands as a major milestone. It's purpose was to force me knee deep into front-end development, something i'd wanted to do for ages. It succeeded, and despite instantly sinking up to my neck, I feel I came out the otherside relatively unharmed.

    Countless Disney films were required to get me this far, it's been emotional. Since this project turned out to be such a beast, I decided to do a 'Making Of' post which i'll add snippets to over time. I'll probably be looking to make some tutorials of the more interesting bits, but for now check it out.
